Green Green RS 5 Sportback at Audi Tacoma

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="99009"] If you're not familiar with just "Green" from Audi exclusive, maybe you should be. Effectively, it's a primary green, harkening the era of 70s B1 Audi 80 GTs or longhood Porsche 911s. It was one of the colors on the so-called "Skittles" Audi S3s, and there's no doubt it won't get missed in a crowd. Other than those S3s, (just) Green is an Audi exclusive color and needs to be special ordered at a premium... unless you find one lightly u...

Find of the Day: 1993 Audi S2 Avant with RS 2 Goodies

words: Bill Cho, photos: mobile.de Any conversation about which Audi is the most desirable and most likely, the RS 2 Avant is at or near the top of the list. Alas (at least for us in the States) we won't be able to legally import one until 2019 because of the 25-year import laws not to mention the sky high prices that are listed for them. Rats. However, there are options. In 1993, Audi produced the S2 Avant powered by the 230hp 2.2L turbo 5. 1993 + 25 years = joy for Americans who want...
